Starting to look for a match because

-you are nearing 30 or

-because you are bored & have nothing much else to do or

-you had a bad break up & need a reason to move on

are too weak reasons to start window shopping for via an arranged marriage.

A strong starting point will be to get a good self-clarity on what you want or expect from your marriage. Understanding your own self, your shortcomings and your purpose is 50 percent of the total part. Read More

It’s either a very common question or a very common problem I see – when someone is talking relationships. And we have all reeled under this. Either suffered at the hands of our own stupid beating heart, or seen people around us suffer as we nodded in disagreement at their stupidity.So, if you have constantly been falling in love with the wrong person, been very frequently saying – ‘Dear Heart, why again?’ – give this blog post a slow, sincere read.
